Dear staff,

it is possible to change my current account name from Danielsan to freezr?

Thanks in advance... 🙏

#2 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] set up an "AD HOC" connection with HOSTAPD (OPENRC) » 2025-11-19 19:27:00

I found the pebcak: you don't need to specify any gateway if your goal is to create a "direct connection".

Here the steps I made:

  • 1. Install hostapd

  • 2. modify /etc/default/hostapd:

    DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"

  • 3. I need to create direct connection (crosscable), here my interfaces

    # The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# # DHCP
# auto eth0
# allow-hotplug eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 10.0.10.1/24
	netmask 255.255.255.0

# wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address 10.1.10.1/24
    netmask 255.255.255.0

# usb0
allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet dhcp

  • 4. Create: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

    ### Wireless network name ###
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
country_code=US
ssid=$ESSID-NAME
hw_mode=g
channel=1
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=$PASSPHRASE
## Key management algorithms ##
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
## Set cipher suites (encryption algorithms) ##
## TKIP = Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
## CCMP = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
## Shared Key Authentication ##
auth_algs=1
## Accept all MAC address ###
macaddr_acl=0

  • 5. restart the network: sudo service networking restart

  • 6. start the hostapd deamon: sudo service networking start

⚠️ please be advised that I reverted the name of the interfaces to the legacy naming!

	netmask 255.255.255.0

iface wlan0 inet static
    address 10.1.10.1/24
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 10.1.10.254

Hi g4sra, I will follow you advise however I bought a dongle that should support hot-spot and "ad hoc " mode, then I'll try doing other tests.

Found another hint:

sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf -i wlan0
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Note: nl80211 driver interface is not designed to be used with ap_scan=2; this can result in connection failures

I tried to change driver, clearly this wifi chipset doesn't support "ad hoc":

I found the documentation and what I did looks right:

# mode: IEEE 802.11 operation mode
# 0 = infrastructure (Managed) mode, i.e., associate with an AP (default)
# 1 = IBSS (ad-hoc, peer-to-peer)
# 2 = AP (access point)
# Note: IBSS can only be used with key_mgmt NONE (plaintext and static WEP) and
# WPA-PSK (with proto=RSN). In addition, key_mgmt=WPA-NONE (fixed group key
# TKIP/CCMP) is available for backwards compatibility, but its use is
# deprecated. WPA-None requires following network block options:
# proto=WPA, key_mgmt=WPA-NONE, pairwise=NONE, group=TKIP (or CCMP, but not
# both), and psk must also be set.
#
# frequency: Channel frequency in megahertz (MHz) for IBSS, e.g.,
# 2412 = IEEE 802.11b/g channel 1. This value is used to configure the initial
# channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks. It is ignored in the infrastructure mode.
# In addition, this value is only used by the station that creates the IBSS. If
# an IBSS network with the configured SSID is already present, the frequency of
# the network will be used instead of this configured value.
# IBSS/ad-hoc network with RSN
network={
	ssid="ibss-rsn"
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	proto=RSN
	psk="12345678"
	mode=1
	frequency=2412
	pairwise=CCMP
	group=CCMP
}

That page doesn't include a method to use a WPA protection, therefore any transmission on the air is plain.

Hi folks,

I am trying to create an "ad hoc" wifi connection through wpa_supplicant; I tried to mix together several sources, but with systemd becoming every day more predominant, it is very difficult finding information for systemdless systems.

This is my adapter:

01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

And the firmware is installed.

Here is my interfaces file:

# wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address 10.1.10.1
    gateway 10.1.10.254
    netmask 24
    #wpa-driver nl80211
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf

Here my wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf with permissions set to 600.

ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
fast_reauth=1
update_config=1
ap_scan=2

# AD-HOC NETWORK

network={
        ssid="ESSID"
        #psk="..."
        psk=YADA-YADA-YDAD
        frequency=2432
        mode=1
        proto=RSN
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP        
}

The wifi is clearly down:

ip link show wlan0
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b0:ac:82:ff:a8:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

When I try to raise up the wlan0 adapter, it fails:

sudo ifup wlan0
wpa_supplicant: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
ifup: failed to bring up wlan0

And when I try to start the service alone it fails the same; wireless-tools are installed:

sudo service wpa_supplicant start
grep: /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant: No such file or directory
wpa_supplicant: unrecognized service

Now are two days that I am trying to troubleshoot this issue but I couldn't find any solution.

Thanks… 🙏

Claws Mail works fine.

Evolution has been good so far... I found that also others dude in the non-systemd spectrum are having issue:

https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/ … 340.0.html

Today I got a beefy packages update (including a "libevolution") but it didn't fix the issue... On Debian Trixie I don't have this problem though...  I feel stink of systemd... 🤢

Hi guys, it looks like this upgrade to Excalibur hasn't been painless at all.

After the video card, the logs, it is time of Evolution:

I tried to reinstall some packages, but I have this feeling the problem is that I have to (re)install it with all the recommended dependencies that means half gnome... 🤷

Thank you guys, it might be a me problem and of course another pebcak; but at least I learned how to revert to the usual log system; that has been one of the reason I moved my kid's laptop from Debian to Devuan; journalctl was pissing me off!

On two computers I have upgraded from Daedalus to Excalibur and I noticed the logs were missing. Logs is not something that I usually messed with, but I don't exclude I could have touched something else that messed up with the logs... 🤷♂️

I found out that moving from Debian Trixie to Devuan Excalibur the package rsyslog is not installed — and I assume that it is probably missing also in a fresh install.
If you upgrade from Daedalus to Excalibur it will modify rsyslog.conf in order to hide: cron.log; kern.log; mail.log; and user.log.

However I have this impression that I was confusing and mixing stuff together... So the point is with the MESA driver I can get hardware acceleration practically stateless; with the i915 I couldn't get the hardware and video acceleration; weird but true... 🤷

How can I restore kern.log; messages.log; syslog; etc.?

Is there a way to revert this situation and get the usual logs?

Hi guys,

I don't understand why my Xorg setup that was working fine with Dadedalus now is not working properly with Excalibur, the video driver is using LLVMPIPE instead of the GPU acceleration. It was going great and I expected with Excalibur to go even better... 🤷♂️

As driver I am using the Intel one provided on kernel:

Thanks good to know... The only limits I remember with dmix/alsa was the inability to switch from internal audio to hdmi audio, and thus I had to invoke a custom script shell, but for my battle laptop I could get rid off of both pulse and pipewire though... 🤔
